At current pricing levels, I believe that the situation would look even worse if we figured the farmers using bio-fuels for planting, fertilizing, spraying, cultivating, and harvesting their corn.
The fact is, right now anyway, they ARE using fossil fuels.
I am not on the "fossil fuel side". I have always been in favor of developing alternative energy sources.
I am just in favor of truth and reality.
America should have been seriously working on all of these ideas since the mid seventies when suddenly a gallon of gasoline was no longer $.25.
The energy 'shocker' I will always remember is the first time I spent ten whole dollars to fill my gas tank.
Then we all got complacent and learned to live with it till this summer, on a couple of occasions, I filled up my truck and my two five gallon mower gas cans and was right at the $100 mark.
